I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE IN THE MAIL. I IMMEDIATELY CALLED MY LOCAL JEEP DEALERSHIP TO SEE ABOUT FIXING THE PROBLEM. THIS CALL WAS MADE IN JUNE 2014. IT IS NOW JANUARY 2015 AND NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE TO FIX THE (NOW THREE) RECALLS I HAVE ON MY JEEP. I KEEP GETTING TOLD I AM "ON THE LIST." THE LAST TIME I CALLED THE MAN IN THE PARTS DEPARTMENT WAS VERY RUDE AND I WAS TOLD THEY "ONLY GET IN ONE PART PER WEEK" AND THERE ARE "OVER 300 PEOPLE ON THE LIST"...THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE! THESE RECALLS HAVE NOT BEEN DEALT WITH IN A TIMELY OR SAFE MANNER. A BRAKE BOOSTER PROBLEM, SUN VISOR WIRING, AND NOW THE ALTERNATOR.. WHO KNOWS WHEN THESE WILL BE FIXED! WITH THESE PROBLEMS I DO NOT FEEL AS SAFE IN MY JEEP, I MAY END UP GETTING RID OF IT IF SOMEONE DOES NOT TAKE THE TIME TO FIX VEHICLES THAT HAVE RECALLS. THIS IS OUR SAFETY, SEND MORE THAN ONE PART PER WEEK SO WE CAN FEEL SAFE IN THE VEHICLE I CHOSE TO BUY! *TR

I DID NOT HAVE AN ACTUAL INCIDENT WITH THE VEHICLE - MY COMPLAINT IS ABOUT THE LACK OF ACTION FOR CERTAIN RECALLS. I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE ON AUGUST 22, 2014 STATING THAT THE BRAKE BOOSTER ON MY VEHICLE MAY PREMATURELY CORRODE AND INGEST WATER. IF THE WATER FREEZES, THE DRIVER MAY HAVE TO APPLY FORCE WHICH MAY SLOW THE DRIVER'S BRAKE REACTION TIME AND CAUSE A CRASH WITHOUT WARNING. QUITE A FRIGHTENING SCENARIO. I CALLED MY JEEP SERVICE CENTER AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THE REPAIR PART FOR THIS RECALL IS ON BACKORDER DUE TO A PARTS SHORTAGE. I WAS ASKED TO BE PUT ON A LIST AND THEY WOULD CALL ME WHEN THE PART ARRIVES. I CALLED THE SERVICE CENTER ON DECEMBER 18, 2014 (4 MONTHS LATER). I WAS TOLD THAT I AM NUMBER 124 ON THE WAITING LIST AND THAT THEY WERE ONLY AT NUMBER 40. I WAS TOLD THAT CHRYSLER ONLY SENDS THE SERVICE CENTER ONE REPAIR PART AT A TIME AND WHEN THEY COMPLETE ONE REPAIR, THEN CHRYSLER SENDS THEM ANOTHER REPAIR PART FOR THE NEXT CUSTOMER. I THEN ASKED THE SERVICE MANAGER IF IT IS DANGEROUS TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE WITH THIS FAULTY PART - HE DID NOT ANSWER ME - ALL HE SAID WAS THAT "HE KNOWS WHAT I KNOW". ALSO A FRIGHTENING SCENARIO. DURING THE 4 MONTHS THAT I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS REPAIR, I RECEIVED ANOTHER RECALL NOTICE FOR AN ALTERNATOR DIOIDE THAT MAY EXPERIENCE RAPID FAILURE IN WHICH VOLTAGE MAY DROP TO CRITICAL LEVELS AND DISABLE THE ANTILOCK BRAKES, THE ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL, THE ELECTRONIC CONTROL MODULE, AND THE CENTRAL BODY CONTROLLER. THIS MAY LEA
WHILE MAKING A RIGHT TURN (WIDE RIGHT, NOT SHARP RIGHT) THE ENGINE "STALLED" AND ALL STEERING CAPABILITY WAS LOST. THE CAR ATTEMPTED TO "STRAIGHTEN OUT". IT TOOK A GREAT DEAL OF STRENGTH TO KEEP THE WHEEL FROM TURNING BACK TO CENTER. AND I WAS NOT ABLE TO TURN THE WHEEL FURTHER TO THE RIGHT. FORTUNATELY NO TRAFFIC AT THAT LOCATION SO I WAS ABLE TO "GUIDE" (NOT STEER) THE CAR TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I PUT "STALLED" IN QUOTES BECAUSE THIS WAS MORE LIKE A "LOCKUP" THAN A STALL. THE ENGINE ABRUPTLY STOPPED. ALL ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS WERE STILL ON. NO WARNING LIGHTS ON DASHBOARD. RADIO CONTINUED PLAYING. HEATER FAN WAS STILL RUNNING. POWER BRAKES WERE STILL FUNCTIONING. FYI: THIS IS THE REGULAR HEMI ENGINE. RE-STARTING THE CAR WAS ODD TOO. IT DIDN'T "CRANK". UPON PRESSING THE START BUTTON, THE ENGINE "SNAPPED ON" - LIKE THOSE NEWER STOP/START ENGINES WHEN AT A RED LIGHT. THE NEXT HOUR OF DRIVING WAS NORMAL. *JS

I HAVE CONTACTED LARRY MILLER CHRYSLER JEEP IN THORNTON COLORADO IN JUNE 2014 ASKING TO HAVE MY VEHICLE SERVICED FOR THE RECALL (S). I WAS TOLD THAT THEY WOULD HAVE TO ORDER THE PART. IN OCTOBER 2014 (5 MONTHS LATER) I CALLED TO SEE WHY I WAS NOT GETTING CALLED IN FOR THE RECALL SERVICE. A VERY RUDE PARTS DEPARTMENT STAFF LAUGHED AND TOLD ME IT COULD BE MONTHS AS THERE WEREN'T ENOUGH PARTS. HE TOLD ME TO JUST WAIT UNTIL I WAS CONTACTED. IT HAS NOW BEEN A FULL 7 MONTHS AND I AM STILL WAITING ON THE CALL TO GET MY RECALL (S) TAKEN CARE OF. *TR
I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR ABOUT 6 MONTHS TO HAVE MY VEHICLE'S BRAKE BOOSTER REPAIRED. I HAVE CONTACTED BRENNER CHRYSLER JEEP THREE TIMES ABOUT THIS RECALL AND CHRYSLER ONCE SINCE MY FIRST RECALL NOTIFICATION. EACH TIME I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT MORE THAN 100 VEHICLES REMAIN AHEAD OF MINE AT THIS DEALERSHIP AND PARTS ARE BEING SHIPPED FOR REPAIR SLOWLY AND ERRATICALLY. I HAVE BEEN REFUSED ANYTHING IN WRITING TO VERIFY MY PLACE ON THE DEALERSHIP'S REPAIR LIST. ALL MY CALLS HAVE BEEN ANSWERED WITH UNSYMPATHETIC, UNCONCERNED, AND UNINFORMED RESPONSES, AND UNTIL NOW, WITH CHRYSLER'S SECOND NOTIFICATION, I WAS REFUSED INFORMATION ON HOW TO REPORT THIS SITUATION TO THE NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY ADMINISTRATION WHEN I ASKED. BOTH BRENNER AND CHRYSLER REFUSE TO UPDATE ME ON THE AVAILABILITY OF FIXING THIS RECALL. *TR
AROUND SEP OF THIS YEAR CHRYSLER NOTIFIED ME OF TWO RECALLS ON MY JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE; P36 / NHTSA 14V-391 (SUN VISOR WIRING) AND P14 / NHTSA 14V-154 (BRAKE BOOSTER CORROSION).. WHEN I CONTACTED THE LOCAL DEALER THEY TOLD ME TO WAIT UNTIL OCT AS THE MANUFACTURER DIDN'T HAVE PARTS AVAILABLE. I CONTACTED THE DEALER, PLANET JEEP IN FLAGSTAFF, AZ ON 10 OCT AND WAS TOLD CHRYSLER WAS RATIONING PARTS AND THAT THEY WOULD PLACE ME ON A LIST. I'VE BEEN IN THAT VIRTUAL QUEUE WAITING ON PARTS SINCE 10 OCVT 2014 AND EVERY TIME I CALL THE DEALER I'M STILL ON THE LIST. I CONTACTED CHRYSLER TO COMPLAIN ABOUT THE POOR SERVICE AS I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR PARTS TO FIX SAFETY PROBLEMS FOR GOING ON THREE MONTHS. I'VE BEEN THROUGH SEVERAL RECALLS OVER THE PAST 40-YEARS AND HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED AN EXCESSIVE DELAY LIKE THIS. IT IS ACTUALLY EASIER TO GET MY MERCEDES BENZ REPAIRED AND THE NEAREST DEALER IS A 2 HOUR DRIVE FROM HEAR. CHRYSLER HAS DEMONSTRATED A LACK OF CONCERN AND NO SENSE OF URGENCY TO CORRECT TWO SAFETY ISSUES WITH MY VEHICLE. THEIR ADVISE TO ME WAS TO CONTINUE CONTACTING MY DEALER TO ENSURE I'M STILL ON THE WAITING LIST. *TR

WHEN RECEIVED A SAFETY RECALL NOTICE FOR THE BRAKE BOOSTER PREMATURELY CORRODING BACK IN JUNE 2014. I CALLED ANCIRA CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE TO SCHEDULE A SERVICE APPOINTMENT ON 4 JUNE 2014. I WAS TOLD I WOULD RECEIVE A CALL IN ABOUT TWO MONTHS WHEN THE PARTS COME IN. I CALLED BACK ON 4 SEPTEMBER BECAUSE I RECEIVED A DIFFERENT RECALL NOTICE BUT FOR THE SUN VISOR VANITY LAMP WIRING RISKING FIRE...I WAS TOLD THE PARTS FOR THE BRAKE BOOSTER WERE STILL NOT IN STOCK. IT IS NOW 24 DECEMBER 2014 AND I RECEIVE ANOTHER SAFETY RECALL NOTICE FOR THE BRAKE BOOSTER. PLEASE ASSIST ON HOW I AM TO GET SAFETY RECALL NOTICE P14 AND P36 REPAIRED ON MY VEHICLE. *TR

BATTERY LIGHT CAME ON AFTER APPROXIMATELY 5 MILES OF DRIVING AFTER STARTING THE CAR, ON 10/5/14. THIS PATTERN CONTINUED FOR TWO DAYS, AND ON THE MORNING OF 10/8/14 THE CAR STOPPED RUNNING COMPLETELY WHILE I WAS PULLING INTO THE PARKING LOT OF THE AUTO SHOP TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT. WHILE DRIVING, I LOST POWER STEERING AND ABS BEFORE THE CAR STALLED COMPLETELY A FEW MOMENTS LATER. I HAD TO HAVE THE ALTERNATOR REPLACED WITH ONLY 50,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE. SEVERAL DAYS LATER I LEARNED OF A NEW RECALL ON CHRYSLER VEHICLES DUE TO ALTERNATOR PROBLEMS, AND TODAY I LEARNED MY VEHICLE WAS NOT A PART OF THIS RECALL BECAUSE I HAVE A 180 AMP ALTERNATOR, AND THOSE RECALLED WERE 160 AMP. I AM CHOOSING TO REPORT THIS INCIDENT BECAUSE I BELIEVE THE FAILURE OF MY ALTERNATOR COULD HAVE CAUSED SERIOUS INJURY TO MYSELF OR OTHER DRIVERS IF I HAD BEEN TRAVELING AT HIGH SPEED WHEN THE BATTERY DIED, AND I BELIEVE THE 180 AMP ALTERNATORS SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED FOR A POSSIBLE RECALL. *TR

A WARNING WAS DISPLAYED: "IMMEDIATE AIR SUSPENSION SYSTEM REPAIR/SERVICE IS REQUIRED." ALSO: "AIR SUSPENSION SYSTEM COOLING DOWN--WAIT." THE DEALER REPLACED A FUSE. ON JAN. 30, 2014 THE SAME THING HAPPENED AGAIN IN SIMILAR WEATHER. THE DEALER REPLACED THE FUSE AGAIN, PERFORMED SEVERAL TESTS AND REPLACED THE AIR CONTROL MODULE. LAST WEEK AN ERROR CODE APPEARED IN 25-DEGREE WEATHER: "AIR SUSPENSION SYSTEM COOLING DOWN--WAIT." AN ON-LINE SEARCH OF JEEP FORUMS, ETC. SHOW THIS PROBLEM IS NOT UNIQUE TO ME.

RECALL P14 / NHTSA 14V-154 I GOT THIS RECALL NOTICE AND CALLED THE DEALER ON JUNE 5 TO HAVE THE REPAIR MADE. THEY SAID THEY DID NOT HAVE PARTS YET AND WOULD PUT ME ON THE WAIT LIST AND THAT I WILL BE NOTIFIED WHEN THE PARTS ARE AVAILABLE. I CALLED AGAIN ON JULY 18 (6 WEEKS LATER) AND THEY SAID THEY STILL DID NOT HAVE PARTS AND AGAIN SAID THAT I'D BE NOTIFIED. IT IS NOW DECEMBER, OVER 6 MONTHS LATER, AND I STILL HAVE RECEIVED NO NOTICE FOR THIS. I JUST CALLED AGAIN AND HAVE FINALLY BEEN SCHEDULED FOR JANUARY. I DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH OF THE FAULT IS THE MANUFACTURER AND HOW MUCH THE DEALER, BUT IT SHOULDN'T BE 7 MONTHS TO FIX A SAFETY ISSUE WITH MY BRAKES. AND IF I'M TOLD THAT I'D BE NOTIFIED WHEN IT CAN BE SCHEDULED, THEN I SHOULD BE NOTIFIED AND NOT HAVE TO REPEATEDLY CALL BACK. *TR
I AM SITTING ON 3 RECALLS ON MY VEHICLE LIST ABOVE, BRAKE SHIELD, VISOR WIRING, AND NOW ALTERNATOR PROBLEM. I AM NOT VERY HAPPY WITH 3 RECALLS THAT THEY DON'T HAVE PART FOR, AND THE DEALERSHIP CAN NOT TELL ME IF AND WHEN PARTS WILL BE IN, I AM TO THE POINT I DON'T WANT THIS VEHICLE ANYMORE BECAUSE OF THESE ISSUES. I DON'T WANNA WAIT TILL THERE IS A INJURY OR FATALITY. I WANT THIS RESOLVED OR VEHICLE REPLACED. I AM GUESSING THE AIR BAGS WILL BE NEXT KNOWING THERE IS A RECALL ON THEM ON OTHER VEHICLES. *TR
THE ENGINE WOULD TURN OVER, BUT IT WOULD NOT START. IT WOULD START AGAIN AFTER TEN MINUTES OR SO. IT HAS HAPPENED THREE TIMES AND BEEN TO THE DEALER TWICE. THE DEALER SAYS THEY DO NOT KNOW WHAT IS WRONG AND CAN'T FIX IT. THE INTERNET HAS INFORMATION INDICATING THAT CHRYSLER KNOWS ABOUT THE PROBLEM BUT DOES NOT HAVE THE PARTS TO FIX IT. APPARENTLY, IT COULD BE AN ISSUE WITH THE TIPM. *TR
I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE. WHEN I CONTACTED MY DEALERSHIP THEY STATED THEY HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY PARTS FOR THIS RECALL FROM CHRYSLER. THE TOOK MY NAME FOR A LIST TO CALL ME WHEN PARTS BECOME AVAILABLE. IT IS NOW 6 MONTHS LATER AND THE DEALERSHIP STILL DOESN'T HAVE THE PART FOR THIS RECALL. I FEEL THIS IS AN UNREASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME TO HAVE TO WAIT FOR PARTS ESPECIALLY AS IMPORTANT WITH A COMPONENT OF A VEHICLE SUCH AS BRAKES. *TR

NHTSA publishes every complaint as the owner wrote it and investigates only a fraction. Spelling, capitalisation and judgement are the filer’s own. What carries weight is repetition: the same component failing the same way across many filings, and whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.
